The vice-President is the United States is a liar, plain and simple. A liar who calls on us to pray for the murderer and not the murdered. A liar who has stated multiple times that the fascist agent who took Ms. Good’s life was in danger from her.
He is a liar.

So I’m listening to the news on my drive from Florida to Louisiana today and immediately after a story about vice president JD Vance, there was an ad that said, “time for a sofa upgrade?”

The speaker of the House of Representatives is a joke — or at least would be if it weren’t so serious.
We must treat the autocratic, fascist takeover of the American government seriously, but these are NOT serious people. They deserve all of our mockery.

Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die. The list is REALLY short of who actually does, and we all eventually will. But it’s not up to us to decide who lives and who dies.

They’re already doing that, Chuck! Where have you been for the last 54 days? And for the 25 years before that?! Let them shut it down, let them OWN IT. And every day hold a press conference talking about the mistakes they’re making, the pain they’re causing. Hold a Sunday AM presser & take control.
If we enter a shutdown, Congressional Republicans would weaponize their majorities to cherry-pick which parts of government to reopen.

Senator @schumer.senate.gov, I’m one of your constituents. I have voted for you. This is not the way. This is giving in to totalitarianism and bullies. They WANT the government open, the NEED the government open. They can’t do ANYTHING if it’s shut down. Hold the line, man!!!
Trump and Musk would love a shutdown.
We must not give them one.
